Shedding Tears [COMPLETED] #Wattys2016

Chapter 17

Yesterday was a bit unexpected. The Harry incident really stopped my heart from beating. I was so shocked and dismantled that it was hard to picturize and stable my whereabouts.

It's a fine Saturday morning and I'm sitting on the chair beside Harry's hospital bed. He is on mild medication at the moment, generally on OSRs just to hydrate him a bit, the doctors informed that he will be discharged today. I'm staring at him, he looks so peaceful. His face is blank and smooth, no wrinkled forehead or twitched eyebrows, his face is plain, beautiful. His hair are freely scattered on his forehead, i very carefully gather them on one side, afraid not to wake him up.

Last night i stayed here with him, the rest of the squad was here till 8 at night after they left. Justin had planned to stay over in the hospital with Harry and I but he had his last minute commitments due to which he couldn't make it. So, i was alone with him. Since Harry was tired he slept quite early, i spent rest of the night cleaning up the mess in the room and just organising his things along with the clothes that Kyle grabbed on his way for Harry to the hospital. Brother love? I know.

So here i am, observing the Greek God, my Greek God on the 'hospital' bed. I'm such a party pooper. He shifts in the bed as i continue to watch him like a very interesting movie, that has engrossed every morsel of myself in it. His eyes pop open, slowly and then all at once. He looks at me and smirks, 'Checking me out, eh?' He says with a wink. I immediately blush and try to hide it, which is worse than blushing itself. 'Ew no. You're so ugly, Mr. Cooper.' I say as i kiss his cheek.

'So how did you sleep?' I ask as i pour him a glass of water. I hand it to him and he takes a sip.
'It was uncomfortable, though.' He says, 'Sorry for keeping you here all night.' He says and i pass him a genuine smile. 'No problem, babe.' I say.

Just then a nurse peaks her head in the door and announces, 'It's time to discharge you Mr. Cooper. Kindly get dressed and prepare your departure. Thank you.' She immediately turns her head and shuts the door.

'Okay boyfriend, get up and change. I'll be right back.' I say as I'm about to open the door and leave, but i stop in my tracks to be interrupted by his voice, 'Wouldn't you like to undress me, girlfriend?' He winks and i playfully cross my arms.
'Really?' I say.
'Yeah. It isn't like you haven't seen it before.' He winks and this time i blush and turn red like a tomato dipped in red paint.
'Ew Harry. Cut it out. I'm leaving and i want you to get over with the dressing part, ugly.'
He clasps his hand over his heart and pretends to be hurt with a bullet, 'Ouch, that hurt.' He whispers.
'Gosh, you're so melodramatic!' I exclaim, and this time turn on my heels and literally head out.

I walk a little in the corridor of the hospital, i stretch myself because ny legs hurt since the couch in which i slept last night was hard and uncomfortable. Several thoughts pop in my mind. What was it that Harry wanted to say? Why did he stress out so much? I need to check out mum as well. What about the bills? I know they aren't much but my savings aren't a lot either. I push all these questions away as i proceed to the billing counter, to be greeted by a short lady who read 'Ashley' on her name pin.

'Good morning Ashley.' I smile and I'm responded with one too.
'Yes? How can i help you?'
'My name is Stacey Conroy and my boyfriend, Harry Cooper is in hospital room C35. I wanted to pay the bills, could you tell me the amount please?' I ask, fingers crossed, secretly hoping that the bills wouldn't be much.

She quickly types on her computer for several seconds and then says, 'The bills have already been paid, Miss Stacey.'
I react a bit shocked before i reply, 'Who paid them and when?'
'They were paid by Mr. Will Cooper, blood father of the patient. He came over last night but since we wouldn't allow more people in the room, he left. But he made sure to clear all the bills and excess medication before he left.'
I sigh of relief. I wonder who told his parents and i can imagine the disappointment he mustve felt when they wouldn't let him meet his own son.
'Okay thank you.' I smile.
'Have a good day.' She beams and i leave the billing counter right after.
